Piz Bianco, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Bianco rises to 3995 meters in the Bernina Range, displaying steep slopes and a prominent rocky ridge composed of diorite formations.
The mountain received its name Piz Bianco, meaning White Peak, due to the permanent snow covering its northern slopes throughout recorded Alpine history.
Local mountaineering traditions incorporate Piz Bianco into multi-peak expeditions alongside neighboring summits, forming part of the Swiss Alpine heritage.
Climbers access Piz Bianco through established routes from Chamanna da Tschierva and Chamanna da Boval mountain huts, which provide essential shelter.
The mountain serves as the highest point of Biancograt ridge, standing 20 meters above its southern col at an elevation of 3973 meters.
